Sheep in the Highlands of Scotland ~ My visit in the Spring of 2009
This was only a “wee” glimpse of the view of sheep from my bedroom window in the Highlands of Scotland. I’ll never forget this trip in April of 2009. The surrounding area was full of newborns and their mothers. It was glorious!
So, as I’m thinking of the Highlands, I’m also thinking of the faeries. This recipe is perfect for summer breakfast, or a chilly morn. Actually, it’s delish anytime!

Friday Feast ~ Rosemary Cashews
Urquhart Castle, Scotland
Considering the long trip Alastair and Fiona had to take before they reached Urquhart Castle, home of the Clan MacKay, I thought this recipe would be fitting for their journey.
Of course, they wouldn’t have found any cashews in medieval Scotland, so humor me with this snack.
Do you have any favorite kind of snacks? Perhaps one for Alastair and Fiona as they made their way through the Highlands?
